-
In the command prompt type offset > type distance (0,4'-6") > offset
-
In the command prompt type offset type distance (0,4.5") > offset
-
In the command prompt type offset type distance (0,18'-0.5') > offset
-
In the command prompt type offset > type distance (9.0", 0) > offset
-
In the command prompt type offset > type distance (0,6¹) > offset .
-
In the command prompt type offset > type distance (9.0", 0) > offset
-
In the command prompt type TRIM to trim the excess line
STEP 2:
